  • Crime and Punishment

    My freshman year of college, I met a girl named Myra. Myra was a sweet girl and we became good friends, but her boyfriend was a total prick. Though Myra never had proof, her friends from back home would tell her that Mark (her boyfriend who still lived at home) was cheating on her. Myra would confront Mark, but he would always deny it, and she, being the sweet and trusting girl that she is, would believe him.

    Then came the weekend that Mark came to visit. My boyfriend and I went out with them on Friday night, but Saturday night, Myra came down with some sort of stomach bug. She encouraged us to go out without her, so Mark and I went to a house party. Since I disliked Mark, I avoided him for the majority of the night, but when it was time to leave, I went to the dance room and found him making out with a stranger.

    My boyfriend, who was also friends with Myra, pulled Mark away, while I went to talk to the girl. I told her that Mark had a girlfriend, but she just shrugged and pulled away. I was angry, and didn't feel like walking home with Mark, so I waited by the door for my boyfriend to catch up so we could leave. It took about ten minutes, but he came and he brought Mark with him, saying something about Mark having gotten away to say goodbye to his make-out partner.

    When I had first seen him sucking face with the strange girl, he was flawless. Now he had a huge (about 3 inches) hickey on his neck and jaw. I must have been gaping like a fish, because the strange girl came up to me and said, verbatim "Cheaters have to be taught the hard way. Now his girlfriend will know what a douche he is." and then she left, and I never saw her again. Needless to say, Myra ditched Mark that night, and never heard from him again.

    Would you ever take it upon yourself to 'punish' a cheater? Would you do what that girl did, or do you think she was in the wrong?
